Fotoprojekt: Corona

Corona or Covid 19 is here. Whether you like it or not. **The virus moves, challenges and changes, dominates the media, steers the economy and politics and has become an integral part of our everyday lives - normality!

How do you deal with a topic that is chewed over in the media every day for weeks on end and that is so invisible?

Photographer and lecturer Evi Lemberger set the 15 MMA students in the Visual Strategies seminar this task. The result is 15 individual photographic explorations of corona.

All projects can also be found on Instagram.
